Welcome to the North Queensland Potters Association

​

NQPA is a dedicated group of potters who work together to form a not-for-profit association in Townsville.

 

Our aim is to promote pottery throughout North QLD and act as a catalyst for the pottery community in the region. Our studio at 15 Flowers St., Railway Estate, is well-equipped and provides a creative environment where members and students pottery skills are nurtured.
